"Boom~" "Da da da~"

When the time came to October and November 1641, the entire battlefield of Chumphon Province was filled with the roar of cannons and the sound of machine guns so dense that no interruption could be heard.

However, such a situation only occurred in the Ming Army's position in the north. On the EU Army's position, the European soldiers who lacked ammunition, whether they were holding submachine guns or rifles, everyone already regarded these firearms as

A sniper rifle is in use.

Lyrics like "We are all sharpshooters, every bullet destroys an enemy" sound heroic and optimistic. But hidden behind it is the bitterness of extreme shortage of supplies. As a soldier, if given the choice, who wouldn't want to

What about the battle that opens up the use of ammunition?

But now, the EU Army, which is in a logistical dilemma, has to fight such a battle...

"Hey, hey, yes, Commander, I am still seven kilometers away from Ranong Port. I promise that I will reach Ranong Port tomorrow."

"Fucking tomorrow, will you count? Tomorrow afternoon at most, the navy of the Western pirates will approach again! If the enemy's navy arrives, our army will have another company of enemies escape every minute every night. Hurry up, today

We must reach Ranong Port at night. At least our 75-gun cannon can cover it. Otherwise, I will change a division to come up! When the time comes to reward you after the war, don’t blame me if your major general cannot be promoted!"

On the Ranong front line, Wang Tingchen, the commander of the 17th Division, put down the phone and wiped the sweat from his head irritably: "Fuck, Commander Huang called several times a day. Our division defeated two enemy lines of defense today and advanced for a whole day.

Five kilometers! I actually want to push another seven kilometers tonight! Isn’t it only 12 kilometers? Some time ago, the 11th to 15th divisions took turns fighting for nearly ten days, and they only advanced 18 kilometers."

Next to him, his deputy division commander Jiang Zhu smiled: "Commander, don't tell me, we are really lucky. It seems that we only pushed 18 kilometers in the first ten days, but in fact, these 18 kilometers were all recently

It was launched in four days. In the first five or six days, it was really an inch of progress every day. We really have to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, if they really replace us and replace us with the 18th Division, then they will pick it up.

Big bargain."

"Well, the thieves' ammunition is indeed getting less and less? We fought all day today? The artillery on the opposite side only fired back. As you said, either tonight? Or tomorrow morning? We can let the artillery cover Ranong.

Hong Kong. In this case..." He rubbed his chin for a while: "I mean, in addition to the first and second regiments at the front? Put the two battalions of the third regiment up as well."

"In this case." Jiang Zhu thought for a while: "In addition to the artillery regiment, we only have one battalion and a guard company directly under the division."

"Is everything okay? The front of the battlefield is so narrow? How can the Western bandits maneuver?"

"Okay, just do as the division commander says. I'll ask the chief of staff to draft an order right away."

On the other side, when Huang Degong put down the phone, Lu Xiangsheng, the new chief of staff of the reorganized Huang Degong cluster, frowned: "I said, Commander? Is Wang Tingchen from Liaodong? It's unambiguous to fight. But you are so

If pressed, he might push all his troops to the front line."

"Huh?" This chief of staff is not only a prince-in-law, but also a real scholar. He has participated in many battles in the past ten years, whether he is the commander of a division or the chief of staff of a group army? His performance is very excellent. Therefore,

Although the Ming Dynasty is now basically equal in civil and military affairs, Huang Degong, who did not study much in his early years and attended night school for a few years after arriving at Henghaiwei, still respected him very much. After hearing what the other party said, he also stopped talking.

Thing: "What the chief of staff means is that if I make this call, that guy Wang Tingchen will probably expose his flank?"

"exactly."

"So what if the flanks are exposed? The decline of the Western bandits in recent days? The firepower is obviously insufficient. Could it be that, Prince Consort, you think the enemy is showing my weakness?"

"This is not the case. So many of the transport ships of the Western Thieves were destroyed by Zhou Yuji? They failed to pick up and retreat at once. This time has been prolonged and the ammunition must be insufficient. But the commander, the commander opposite, is Gusta

Husband, have you forgotten how General Mao suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Deccan?"

"...Oh! Fortunately, you reminded me. Yes, yes, my Ming generals can't fall into the same pit all the time, right? Well, my consort, please prepare an elite force for me. I, no, I

I will personally lead the team south from the mountain tonight to meet Gustav, who may be in a hurry."

"Okay, Commander, don't worry. Our logistics are much better than those of the Western Bandits. We will definitely have the Commander's troops fully armed!"

The logistics of the Ming Dynasty's army were overland from Bangkok, which was quite difficult to manage. However, the permanent residents here are Mon people: the Ming Dynasty cut the meat of the Bamar and Thai people to feed them, and the European Union was in Indochina.

When they briefly had the upper hand, some senior leaders of the Bamar and Tai tribes took the initiative to get closer... The leaders of the Mon tribe knew very well that if the Ming Dynasty were defeated here, their end would be miserable!

Therefore, the Mon people, who had no way out, supported the Ming Dynasty like crazy this time - on the muddy and rugged mountain roads, there were people pushing wheelbarrows or carrying them on their backs, transporting weapons, ammunition and food for the Ming army, and

Mon people carrying the wounded!

Therefore, when the Malay Campaign lasted only more than ten days, the logistical gap between the two sides became apparent.

However, the Malay Peninsula is really long and narrow. The Kra Isthmus where Chumphon Province is located is the narrowest part of this long and narrow peninsula. In addition, there are slender mountains here that divide the already long and narrow area into two.

Therefore, in the past ten days, the frontal width of the battlefields where the two sides have been fighting has basically been within 20 kilometers. Although the Ming army has the advantage in firepower, it can only deploy about one division of troops to attack at a time. In this way, there is a lack of

Ammunition only lasted so many days for the EU Army.

but……

Although the advantages of the Ming army are getting bigger and bigger, the enemy opposite them is Gustav who is determined to die and pursues the glory of a warrior.

"His Excellency Archduke Friedland, according to reports from the front line, the most we have against the soldiers due north is two magazines. If I don't risk a side attack tonight, we can hold on until noon tomorrow at most. And

If the Navy’s transport fleet does not return at that time, all of our 200,000 troops here will be captured... Therefore, tonight’s attack is imperative!”

Looking at the nearly fifty-year-old Gustav in military uniform, the fifty-eight-year-old Wallenstein said with complicated emotions: "...Your Majesty, your judgment is correct. I have asked the staff to prepare two supplies for you.

There are six thousand elite regiments. For their ammunition, I asked the quartermasters to do their best to ensure that each soldier has ten magazines and each mortar has five shells."

"Thank you for your outstanding work..." After saying this, Gustav paused for a moment: "I will set off at eight o'clock tonight, after the sun completely sets. First enter the mountains, and then sneak, if God bless

, if we are not discovered by the Ming army's scouts, we are expected to launch an attack at twelve o'clock in the evening. Before that, please personally sit in the headquarters and be sure to hold on until twelve o'clock in the evening. And after that..." Two meters

The tall man let out a long sigh: "Please retreat first. I asked the navy to keep a destroyer here at all times. I just thought that such a day would come."

"Your Majesty, please don't talk about this matter. There is no doubt that I am a realistic person, but first of all, I am a white man and a European. I will fight for the alliance until the last moment. But you, I

feel……"

"Please stop saying that, I am Gustav. Although I am just a general under His Majesty Philip, I am also the king of a country. It is my ideal to imitate Alexander the Great and conquer all the lands I can see. If

If this ideal cannot be realized, a heroic death in battle is also very perfect. Hahaha, speaking of it, I have run much further than Alexander the Great."

"Well, good luck to you, Your Majesty."

"I also wish you good luck, Your Excellency."

Late at night on the 11th, Gustavus concentrated all the ammunition in the rear, fully armed 6,000 elite troops, and took advantage of the cover of night to enter the Kravuuli Hills east of Ranong Port.

Gu Erye, who is good at facing the front with thin soldiers and leading an elite side attack, is once again preparing for a side attack.

The war has developed to this point, and he is very clear after having fought for decades: the coalition forces have failed this time. The only thing they can strive for now is to hope that this side attack can temporarily repel the attacking Ming army and pave the way for their own retreat.

Buy more time: According to time calculation, our navy's transport ship should arrive at noon tomorrow.

And if he could buy enough time, he had already given an order to Wallenstein: abandon all equipment, only pretend to be human, and try his best to pretend: he would rather these soldiers die at sea because the cabin is overcrowded than let them.

Up to 200,000 soldiers were captured by the Ming army.

So, survive in death and give another fierce side attack!

This place is near the equator and has a typical tropical rain forest climate - there is no rainy season or dry season, and it is hot and rainy all year round. So when Gustav led the team out that night, the sound of sporadic raindrops successfully covered up their

Footsteps and whereabouts.

More than an hour after leaving Ranong Port, they successfully entered the hilly area.

"God bless, today's weather is really suitable for a sneak attack. Here's the order, the whole army should try to keep quiet, detour five kilometers to the north, and then go down the mountain to attack from the enemy's rear."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The time came to eleven o'clock in the evening. After Gustav's two regiments entered the hilly area and marched for nearly two hours, the Swedish king began to issue another order: the entire army turned around and prepared to leave the hills and rush to the coastal plains, and then

Launched an attack on the Ming army's Wang Tingchen division from the side and rear.

However, at this moment, countless torches lit up all around. In the wilderness that was originally particularly quiet due to the deliberate suppression by the EU troops, a rough and hearty voice sounded: "Is Gustave in front of you? Huang is waiting here.
